VERY Disappointing!

This floor cleaner does NOTHING that it claims. At first I thought it was just me and that I wasn't operating it correctly...but after multiple attempts to use it AS DIRECTED over 2 months, I can say that it's just completely worthless. The first few times I used it , it would not expel (spray out) the water. The next time I used it it would spray the water out, but would not vacuum it back up. All it did was spread dirty water all over the floor. The cleaning cloth that can be used in place of the brushes only soaks up all the water (if it's actually expelling some) but doesn't put any onto the floor. I borrowed my sister in law's Hoover that is comparable to this Bissel and it works great. The Bissel is SO not worth the money...at any price. Mine is sitting waiting to go the Donation center. Don't waste your money.

powerful

I needed a compact but powerful vacuum to replace a small hoover compact. I am mostly satisfied with this product as it is powerful & has throw-away bags, unlike the hoover which became very messy to empty, etc. With 3 cats, 2 dogs, I find the Mighty Mike to do a really good job in picking up all the hair, etc. The downside is the cord , which is stored underneath the machine. I simply fold the cord over a few times & slide the whole thing under the handle, which is much easier than turning it up-side down to wrap & store. Also, the hose kinks easily (as other reviewers have mentioned) so that I probably will replace it with a more sturdy one somtime soon. I bought this vacuum so that I didn't have to carry my primary vacuum up & down a flight of stairs. The Mighty Mike is, all in all, a good product at a reasonable price.

Dyson Vacuum

Absolutely love this vacuum. Lightweight and easy to use and clean. Have recommended this vacuum to all my friends and family. I have owned vacuums ranging from electrolux and rainbow down to hoovers and eurekas and this is absolutely my favorite.i only wish I had not waited this long to have one.

The Best Vacuum Ever

This is the best vacuum I have ever owned and I have had an Electrolux, Dirt Devil, Dyson, Shark, Kenmore, Hoover, and a less espensive Bissell. Before I describe this product let me inform you to never buy a Dyson, Shark, or Eureka if you live in the United States because you cannot buy replacement parts. I learned this the hard way. Also, vacuums (no matter what brand) are made to last 18 months to 2 years. Another thing I have learned the hard way. That is why buying a refurbished vacuum at this price is a smart decision and buying a Bissell where you can easily get replacement parts is one as well. This vacuum is amazing. It has all of the cyclonic suction of a Dyson and is much more functional. It is not only an upright but it is a canister as well. It is so convenient to be able to lift off the center and leave the clumsyness of the upright behind. It is the best of both worlds. If you are a pet owner it will change your life ( at least, the smell of your house). It picked up dog hair from my medium pile carpet that my Shark left behind. I highly recommend this vacuum (and I am an avid twice a day vacuumer) to everyone. I also recommend after purchasing it that you order the Universal Pet Hair Vacuum Tool from Bissell (about $35). If Overstock does not have it Bissell's official site does. This set of 2 attachments is amazing for stairs and pet beds. It is several inches wider than the one already attached to the vacuum. Also, I ordered from Bissell for $14.99 a bare floor attachment. I lift off the the vacuum from the center and add the bare floor attachment and it is a light, easy, and effective way to vacuum my wood and tile floors. With the amazing Overstock refurbished price and the very reasonable Bissell extra attachments I purchased there is not another vacuum that can compare out there. For the first time I am completely happy with my vacuum and will replace it with another one of the same when the time comes.

Dyson dc41 animal upright vacuum

This vacuum exceed my expectations . I have two dogs and four indoor cats. As a test I thoroughly vacuumed my house and furniture with my previous vacuum (a Hoover).
I was shocked by what the Hoover left behind. I am a believer in spending the extra money on a Dyson.

Nice features but very loud and heavy

If it weren't for the fact my husband destroyed the box, I'd probably return this vacuum. It's "just ok dog" ....works pretty well overall but it's VERY LOUD (ear protection seems like a good idea!) and it's quite heavy. It has the self-propel feature which makes it ok to push/pull but it just seems kind of heavy and awkward. Now I wish I had spent more $$ for something with better engineering. For the price though, it's alright.

Hoover Enhanced Disinfecting Steam Mop

Used it twice with no problems. The third time I used it, the connection between the disenfectant container and the water container seemed to be clogged. Although the steam operation worked, the disinfectant was not being released. I called Hoover Customer Service and they are replacing it with a new mop at no charge.

Glad I gave ProLux a chance!

I stumbled upon the ProLux brand when looking for a replacement for my 2nd Hoover Canister Vac. I was not familiar with the ProLux brand and was a little skeptical at first. After a ton of reading and inspection, I decided to give it a shot. The reasonable cost, warranty and return policy made this decision easy. After getting everything setup, I was pleasantly surprised at how familiar and solid this model was. While it's a bit loud as some point out, let's not forget, it's a vacuum cleaner. I associate this with suction power, and it doesn't disappoint. We have had this model for a few months and feel like it was a great decision!

Well thought out

I am pleased with the Dyson. It weighs less than half what my Hoover did, and maneuvers easily and accurately. Dirt pickup is fantastic! It came well-packed and with the documentation. There was one small flaw in the catch that holds the handle in place; it had been jammed and was bent, but the soft plastic straightened out enough to work again, although it seems fragile. My other concern with durability is the hose, which I have been told is a weak link and needs careful handling to avoid kinking or tearing it. I have never owned a vacuum free of issues, but these seem minor enough compared to most.

light & powerful

I was surprised how much it picked up given that I had vacuumed only 2 days prior w/ my hoover. it maneuvers great and has great suction. My only suggests would be to have a longer cord and bigger canister.

Best Vacuum Ever

I bought this vacuum cleaner after the handle on my Hoover "snapped off". For the first time I did research before buying one, and I am SO glad that I did. I was impressed with the reviews and the price was good-if it worked like the reviews promised. It was delivered in 2 days which was great (normal for Overstock.com). It's very easy to assemble and a lot lighter weight than I expected. It has plenty of attachments (I am grateful-I bought an Oreck a few years ago and it didn't have ANY attachments, used only Oreck bags and was hard to push around) and the cord is long enough to clean most of my house without having to plug it in again. I don't remember reading that it was "self-propelled" in the reviews or if it's because it's so lightweight, but the Shark almost vacuums by itself. The head swivels which is quite handy in corners and around table legs. I have two long-haired cats and the amount of hair that was vacuumed up the first time I used the Shark was totally amazing (and embarrassing). I vacuumed my house every day for the first week I had the Shark and I continued getting dirt and cat hair out of my carpet, which is wonderful but doesn't say much for my previous vacuums. I have never been so excited about a vacuum cleaner before, but I've never had one that exceeded my expectations like this one has. The only thing wrong with it-it's a little top heavy when using the wand and can tip over if you pull it by the wand instead of the handle on the top. I wouldn't mind if the hose/wand was a little longer either but overall I am very happy with it and would urge anyone-especially pet owners- to get this vacuum cleaner. You won't be sorry.

This Is an awesome machine

This seems like a brand new product in both appearance and packaging. The vac is great. Picks up everything and makes my carpets look new again and the attachments are best I have ever used. I used to buy a new Hoover or whatever every few years but this one seems like a lifelong keeper

Works great - on most carpets

The vacuum works great, it does pull up dirt and pet hair the other hoover I had missed, I empty the container far more frequently meaning I'm getting much more dirt and hair up out of the rug and stairs.
My only issue so far has been that the beater bar which is necessary to get up the hair has a hard time with low pile area rugs. When set on the hard wood setting the beater bar stops spiniing but when set to carpet the belt spins past the teeth on the beater bar gear making a god awful racket. I worry that this will eat up the belts or wors, break the teeth on the beater bar. I don't know what the solution is, the bar is necessary to get the hair which wont come up with suction alone (I tried several passes).

Dyson DC40 Animal Upright

This replaces a Hoover upright that hasn't operated well for several months but we've had for many years. Because of it's age, we decided to buy another and retire the Hoover. Good decision. The Dyson, which is a reconditioned vacuum, is easy to operate and does a very good job with wonderful suction. It works on carpet and our wood floors as well (by disabling the brush bar). No bags to empty or filters, belts or other items to buy/replace. What a bargain.

Dyson DC 25 Animal

OK...reading the reviews, I thought that my house is not that dirty. I vacuumed the day before receiving the Dyson, and OMG!! My house was that dirty (well, the carpets!) I could not believe what was in the canister! I have two dogs and two cats and just got sick of battling with my hoover to unclog it several times while vacuuming, I decided it is time to spluge. Purchased the refurbished model at a huge savings, it came looking like brand new. Very easy to put together and within ten minutes I was vacuuming my house. I have a combination hardwood, area rugs and carpeting and just could not believe how clean it all looks. Still haven't tried the attachments yet, but just starting on my spring cleaning. So far, I am very pleased.

Best Vacuum Ever!

Until you buy a Dyson vacuum you really have no idea how dirty your carpets are! This is my first Dyson and I am thoroughly impressed! The product was shipped very fast and packaged really well. Assembly was a breeze as it is just 3 pieces that simply click into together and come with very helpful instructions. The overall look of the vacuum is pretty awesome. The canister was not the clearest but that is to be expected because it is a refurbished vacuum. I did not notice any dings or scratches in mine as some of the other reviewers have stated. I can see how some might be worried about the quality of the product some pieces do seem to be a little flimsy and I could see them getting damaged in the future but as long as you don't throw the thing down the stairs I think it'll hold up just fine. I live in a one bed apartment so this is just the right size for me, people with large homes might consider going with the DC41 or DC50 model. This model has a relatively short cord and smaller canister that needs to be emptied more often. I vacuumed the whole apartment with my old Hoover and then went back over it all with the Dyson just to see how much better it really was. The Dyson was able to pick up a WHOLE JAM-PACKED CANISTER on a seemingly clean floor. All I can say is wow! If you don't own one of these you should really start to consider it if you want to know what clean floors are!

Just like new, without the cost!

If you thought about purchasing a Kirby, but was turned off by the price, refurbished is the way to go. This is the first refurbished Kirby we purchased and we are more than happy with it. We were skeptical of a refurbished product, but I have been using for over a week now (almost daily) and love the performance and ease of using it. It really is no heavier than our old Hoover upright, but it is a little tricky learning how to attach the accessories, however once you get comfortable with it, it becomes a little easier. The product arrived within the specified timeframe, with all the accessories, the only thing I had to download from online was a User Manual since that did not come with it. It did have a CD for a Sentria model, but it was still helpful. I had to attach the handle which was a breeze-only requiring a snap-in-place piece and a Phillips screwdriver to attach the cord holder. The Kirby is working great and we have noticed and improved look of our carpet and smell of our house. The product and accessories new. The price of a refurbished Kirby is more than reasonable and you still get an outstanding product that holds up to the Kirby name. This product makes me enjoy vacuuming because I know my house is cleaner because of it. We love our "new" Kirby!!!!

Works Great on Carpet

Be aware that the head cannot flex to different angles. It is always nearly level with the hose, so it has to be operated nearly parallel with the surface of the material being vacuumed. I found that disappointing because I would like to be able to use it on the floor from a standing position. There was no trouble connecting it to my Hoover Windtunnel vacuum.
I bought the accessory to clean my terrier's copious white fur out of the back seat of my black car interior. It works poorly on the nylon upholstery of the seats, so I first use a whisk broom to knock all the fur to the carpet. This powerhead works very well on the carpet, so between the broom and the vacuum, I can get the job done all right.

Shark S3101 N3 Steam Mop

I previously used the Shark 3101WT and when it broke, I ordered this one. It does not work any way near the original version. The steam hardly comes through and does not clean the floor. I will be returning the item.

So far, so good.

We got this refurbished Dyson after having owned another Dyson that isn't as compact. So far, it is wonderful. It moves easily and efficiently and it's so light weight that it's the easiest vacuum we've ever owned. It cleans things really well. The only drawback is that it doesn't clean as wide of a swath as other models but it makes up for this with the ease of movement. Another great Dyson product.
